Many times the federal government or US Supreme Court creates mandates that must be implemented by the states. Sometimes they are funded, sometimes not. Choose a recent federal or judicial mandate from the federal level and explain how it impacts your state. How has your state responded? If they have not responded yet, how do you predict they will respond. Who has the authority within the state to decide? Was the mandate funded? Unfunded? One example is described at Writing State Implementations Plans For The CPP Wont Be Easy for Regulators, And Time is Short . Your sources can be government and state websites for this assignment but you should also see what scholarly literature addresses the issue broadly. This assignment should be approximately 5 pages double-spaced using APA citation.
